 Access is gained along narrow village lanes with oncoming traffic which can be quite disconcerting. The village the site is located in is beautiful but there are no amenities (pubs!) in walking distance. Stonehenge is not within walking distance and can not be seen from the site. The site is quiet with few amenities. The prices must have been recently increased as it now costs £17 a night in March. They, very annoyingly, charge extra for an awning. I know that these people have a business to run but surely if you pay for a pitch you should be able to use that pitch how you want to - a caravan and awning is no bigger than some of the large tents you get. The owners were unhelpful to some other campers on the site - they were in a group of families from all over the country and despite letting the owners know that some of them had got stuck in traffic and would be arriving late (7pm) wouldn't let them pitch up.
Owners response:
I believe that roaringmegs review about our campsite (Stonehenge Touring Park) to be misplaced and inaccurate due to the following reasons.
1. We have not had any caravans with awnings staying on site during March to date, nor any family groups staying on site this year.
2. Our tariff has not changed for the last 2-3 years and is clearly accessed on our website.
3. There are two pubs within a one mile walk of the campsite.
4. Stonehenge is situated four miles from the campsite as described on our website.
5. No new arrivals to the campsite have been refused access this year.
I can only assume that this person has reviewed the wrong campsite or is a member or knows a member of a 4x4 group that had made a prior booking for the weekend of the 11th March for 6 caravans with a special pre-arranged tariff. Although the confirmation and the terms and conditions on our website clearly state acceptable times of arrival we were informed at lunchtime on the day of arrival that one member would not be able to arrive until after 9.00pm as they were not setting out until late, they were informed that this was not acceptable. Later in the afternoon the organiser telephoned to cancel the booking for all units even after confirming he had read his confirmation with respect to times of arrival which he freely agreed with.
Had it been as the reviewer said, that they could not arrive until 7pm this would not have been a problem as at this time of year 7pm would have been an acceptable time of arrival.
I am quite happy with constructive criticism but strongly object to untruths. On this occasion I feel that roaringmegs review is unfounded, unjustified and untrue. (or posted against the wrong campsite). As already stated we have had no caravans with awnings paying £17 as stated for the month of March (so did she really stay here?).

A one night stop here, and were welcomed by a chap who appeared to be staying in one of the caravans who told us the reception would be open about 4pm and directed us to a couple of tent pitches.
Cheap at £10 including EHU for the night (we were told £9+£3). Situated in a sheltered valley, with a small shop on site (which we didn't use). Out of season the washing-up area was closed but we were told it was OK to use the laundry sinks. Toilet blocks and laundry both very clean.
It's not somewhere you can walk to a pub or restaurant for an evening meal, but made a very nice stop over.
After all the recent rain the ground was very soft (the area outside my tent was muddy with just two of us there for an evening), and I can imagine it turning into a bit of a quagmire if there's a lot of heavy rain.

I booked a pitch for a tent with electric hook up at short notice which was no problem. I was welcomed onto the site by a friendly lady at reception who showed me where everything was and pointed me to a pitch by some trees on the south side of the park. I had a long enough electric hook up cable to be able to position my tent so that I was looking out across the meadow which was nice. It really was magical to just sit there at dusk just watching and listening to the wildlife all around. You are aware of the nearby A360 however is isn't a major intrusion and the sound of the birds easily distracts your attention. The only thing I feel the overall experience lacks is a camp fire and I think it would be nice if fire pits were allowed; I can however imagine that the site have their reasons for not allowing them.
The site has brilliant facilities including a laundry with indoor dish washing area, there are also some outdoor sinks (under shelter). The shower blocks were very clean and reasonably modern. The only slight annoyance was that the push button shower required button to be persistantly held down to maintain water flow rather than the usual 20 - 30 seconds you would expect, I am sure a small adjustment could remedy this. The shower was however nice and warm.
Of course the county of Wiltshire itself is lovely but the site was also well located for popping into the New Forest or East Somerset. I spent a glorious spring like Saturday walking in the New Forest followed by an epic drive through the fringes of North Dorset and a lovely journey through Wiltshire countryside up the back roads and back to the site. I left early on the Sunday, this was because despite a reassuringly still Saturday evening the wind and rain came in and kept me up all night. This is no fault of the site, it's just I am a light sleeper and need to invest in some ear plugs!
I can highly recommend this site to anyone looking to explore Wiltshire. It is very conveniently located for me in Oxfordshire to come for a quick weekend away. I will be back to visit as soon as a nice weekend is forecast.

I visited Stonehenge in my campervan and booked this site beforehand. It was very cheap at 12 pounds with EHU so I was surprised at how good it was. The surrounding views were really nice. The location was handy for Stonehenge obviously but also many other English heritage sites in the area. The pitch was hard standing but we had to drive over grass to get to it. The grass was however very hard for this time of year and so no problem at all. I was so impressed with the site I decided to stay another night. I will return for sure.

Me and my girlfriend found this campsite via our sat nav. We came up for the day to visit Stonehenge, after a beautiful day walking round we needed somewhere to stay with our camper van and wasn't sure on the area. I called them up and I was booked in within minutes.
The woman was very friendly who worked there. I also couldn't believe how cheap it was to stay there and they had wireless internet. The grounds were beautiful! There were horses in one field and sheep in another so we felt very relaxed and one with nature.
We will definitely be coming back here when we're in the area. The facilities were very clean and private, they have showers and washing area. We do recommend this campsite to any age, whether you looking to stay one night to a week.
Couldn't comment on child friendliness as we do not have children, but there was children there playing in the play area located in the middle of the camp site.

Spent a pleasant weekend here. Campsite situated in a rural area about 20-30 minutes from Salisbury and 4 miles from Stonehenge.
Smallish site with a well stocked shop and cash point facility.No pitches are marked out which did lead to some people pitching a bit too close to each other. Grass could have done with mowing as it was getting a bit long in areas. However several trees located within field, perfect for sheltering / eating under to escape midday sun.
Children's play area is simple but effective at entertaining kids. We were pitched very close to it (approx 2 metres away) but not many kids on site to cause too much noise!
Toilet block is modern and clean. Washing up facilities are a bit on the smallish side. Only 2 sinks, which are too shallow to fit a kampa bucket / deep bowl into. Launderette looked ok too.
Owner very pleasant and helpful.

My wife and myself returned to the park after a 4 year absence, and first time by caravan. The place still has its good ambience and very friendly.
Rob gave us a hand to set up (the man works tirelessly ) and is always pleasant and a smile for everyone.Shop on site is good, pubs which are pretty close ( all in a couple of miles) are friendly with good beer and grub.
We came for the solstice stayed 4 nights and moved down to Brixham relaxed and happy.

We used this site for our first camping trip and were very pleased with our choice. As we have three children under five we only stayed for one night to see if they liked it, which they did.
The site is perfect for first timers like us as the owners are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The camping area is a horseshoe shape with tents facing inward towards a play area for the kids.
The shop as mentioned in other reviews has everything you could want and have forgotten. They even have a cash machine.The toilets/ showers are clean with very hot water available with an outdoor double sink for cleaning dishes and pots / pans.
Stonehenge is only four miles away and the surrounding countryside and villages with thatched cottages are very scenic, with a peaceful atmosphere a welcome break from the big smoke London.
We will definitely be back for a longer spell, and highly recommend this site especially for first timers and those with young children.

This was our first ever camping trip and very happy with our choice. The whole site is clean and tidy. A warm welcome is given by the owners and the facilities are spotless. There are no marked pitches but you are advised where to pitch by the owner and you end up with more than enough room.
There is a fantastic shop which stocks everything you should need. You are able to freeze your ice packs at a very small charge and we also chose the very yummy home made bacon baguettes; a lovely way to start your Sunday morning!
Overall I would highly recommend this site to anyone, especially those with young children as the pitches are all facing into the centre of the park and you can watch the little ones having fun whilst you sit and relax with your glass of wine. Fantastic little place.

Stayed for 4 nights from the 28th May bank holiday. The camp site was smaller than we expected but when we arrived received a very warm welcome from the owners.
The site is very clean and when ever I used the toilet blocks they were always clean & tidy. Shop had every thing you would expect, they even offered to post our post cards!
Only small observation was that it looked like to many tents for a small field which meant the kids had very little space to play, However do not let this stop you booking this site. Would I stay again? Yes We would

Lovely site on the edge of Salisbury plain, a couple of miles from Stonehenge. The owners Rob and Julie are very friendly, and can't do enough to help, we forgot our electric hook up, and Rob sorted us out.
It's a very well kept site, the toilets and showers are cleaned regularly. A well stocked shop, that is very reasonably priced. No noise after 11pm, a beautiful place to go for peace and quiet,in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely be back.

Stayed 1 night whilst passing through and visiting Stone henge.
Wished we had stayed longer we loved it
Owners very happy to help Shop Very well stocked daughters bought loads and where so excited about rice pudding being in stock (strange children)
Shop also had glow sticks which every child on the site bought and we experienced later that evening in mass quantities. It looked like aliens had landed and was very surreal.
The sit is clean tidy and has just enough facilities to be happy and not overpowered by the fast paced life we left behind.
Rules and regulations on site plain simple and easy be nice to others and expect same in return.

I was very lucky to secure an EHU pitch with short notice at this site, and I had an excellent time there.
Julie the owner and her team were extremely helpful and friendly, and the site was kept clean and tidy.
My fault for getting up late in the mornings when the hot water in the shower block was running low. Understandable though as it was the busiest weekend of the year.
No issue with hot water the morning of my departure as I got up early.
The shop was quite well stocked, including wines and beers etc.
There is a children play area and appears to be well used while I was there.
The site is very well situated and close to one of my favourite part of Wiltshire - Maddington and other downs, where one can have some fantastic walks with the dogs.
It is only 15 miles from home, and I am very lucky to have such a nice site near me.
It is handy for shorter trips so that I can pop home to check up on the cat!
Be warned about farm animals and horses not being considerate - they will not understand if you try reasoning with them, ha ha!
Lovely site and definitely will go back again.

Spent 3 nights at this site. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The site is busy but feels friendly. The toilets are clean and user friendly. The shop is the best stocked shop I have seen on a small site (I think the shop is used by the local villagers as well as campers)and is open till 9pm.Close by is the village of Shrewton which has a small supermarket and Petrol Station. The site is 4 miles from Stonehenge which was the reason for the visit. I would recommend this site without hesitation. The only criticism I have is the pigeons in the tree above our tent were rather loud early in the morning! If that the only complaint I have things must be good!

Great little campsite, quiet, very international feel about the site.
Half the visitors were from the continent good mixture of tents and camper vans
We even met a Danish family that we met a few years ago in a different part of the world.
Owners very friendly and more than helpful.Good clean wel kept site with a safe comfortable feel about it.
Excellent for families and couples.
